Re: already approved antibiotics to the rescue?? schoolgirls innocent question may ha

This is extremely interesting. It needs thorough investigation. I was particularly intriguedby the increased survival of lung cancer patients with Zithromax.

Ive heard of Doxycycline use in cancer before. One of the explanations for its benefit was an effect on Matrix Metalloproteins which are active in cancer. Minocycline, a tetracycline related to Doxycycline has been used to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis with some benefit and I think the mechanism of action involves inhibition of Matrix Metalloproteins.
